Please don't stare yourself blind on "cups" of sallad. It's not a RULE, it's just a recommendation (in order to make people eat ENOUGH veggies and not too little of them, as I see it.) "Cup" measures are so inreliable anyway, it totally depends on the shape of the veggie etc. I weigh them instead. The important thing is to have most of your carbs coming from veggies and to stick to 20g carbs a day.

Also, veggies are pretty low in kcals. I don't think I ever heard about anyone stalling from "too many veggies". It's the dairy, cheese, LC bars and shakes and too small a water intake that seem to do that dang trick.
